By A Correspondent- Zanu PF President Emmerson Mnangagwa has diverted from addressing the political and economic crisis his country is experiencing and focused on political unrest in South Africa.

Instead of addressing problems, Zimbabwe is facing Mnangagwa said wished for the unrest to be resolved as soon as possible to ensure continued stability in the region.

Speaking at his party’s Ordinary session of the Politburo in Harare Wednesday, Mnangagwa said there was a need to ensure peace and stability in South Africa.

“In the case of South Africa, we wish the current challenges facing our brothers and sisters in that country be soon resolved,” he said.

Over 70 people have been killed in violence that followed the imprisonment of Mr Zuma for contempt of court last week.

His jailing sparked wildcat protests in his home province of KwaZulu Natal which then spread to other areas. Roads, including those that link South Africa to Zimbabwe, are currently blocked while truckers are being targeted by the protesters.

To quell the protests, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa deployed the military after the country’s police had been overwhelmed by the violent demonstrators who have burnt and looted shops.
